Hello
You are 26 years old and getting marriage very soon and advised Hair 4 U , this is minoxidil and usually don't have any side effect except mild irritation.
Follihair , ingredients are selenium , zinc , calcium pantothenate , calcium , niacinamide , biotin , magnesium etc i.e. multivitamins .
Usually don't have any side effects ,except in excess passes in urine .
Now about FINAX , this is finasteride ,and its side effects are:
Decreased libido ( sexual power ), gynaecomastia ( deposition of fat on chest and it seems like breast 0, impotence , reduced volume of ejaculate lip swelling and rashes.
If this drug is used for long period these are side effects .
Since you are just getting marriage , so I DON'T RECOMMEND you this drug.
So consult your physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
